That'd be inconsistent with other packages, since we do generally build

Makes sense. I wonder if there are actually any users of the static
libraries.
Users are primarily small systems, where static linking may result in a slightly
smaller system. (When I say small systems, I'm talking about single application
embedded systems..)
For what it's worth in gnome-ostree I do just globally pass
--disable-static by default.
